Michelin’s hotel rating system mirrors its well-known restaurant rating system, with a ‘One Key’ rating for special hotels, a ‘Two Key’ rank for exceptional hotels, and a coveted ‘Three Key’ benchmark reserved for the very best hotels. The meticulous evaluation process was conducted by a team of experts, resulting in a list of 24 Three Key hotels, 38 Two Key hotels, and 127 One Key hotels.
Among the top-ranked hotels are iconic properties such as the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, a historic 19th-century hotel nestled in a tranquil pine forest overlooking the sea. Another standout on the list is the legendary Ritz Paris, founded by César Ritz and frequented by esteemed guests like Chopin, Proust, and Coco Chanel.
The comprehensive list of top-ranked hotels can be found on Michelin’s official website, showcasing a diverse selection of luxurious accommodations that have met the stringent criteria set by the esteemed rating system.
